Life At True North

05/10/2023

This is Sonata 💚. I don’t post much on this page. There’s more on my Instagram but I wanted to share how beautiful she is.

This weekend will be 12 weeks since she joined our herd at True North. She was rescued from a home where she had been severely neglected. She was very underweight, had horrible rain rot, scratches on her hind legs and her eyes where just sad and dull.

I’m not going to post pictures of her from then because that is not how I want her to be seen anymore. With proper nutrition, love and care she is enjoying her new life. She’s gained 106 pounds, her new coat has come in sleek and shiny. Sonata enjoys wondering around the property visiting all her new friends.

Today she wanted to go to pasture but none of her friends were out so I went with her. I just sat with her while she grazed and we enjoyed the sunshine. ☀️

Sonata likes going around and visiting all her new friends. In 2 weeks she’s gained approximately 30 pounds. Her eyes are brighter each day. She has plenty of food, a soft bed so she can rest and is warm on these cold nights. 💚

I love this 🐴✨💛

People say "horses are prey animals".
Here are some things I believe every horse prays:
He prays you won’t chase him in a round yard.
He prays you won’t harass him with a flag or a rope.
He prays you won’t saddle him for the first time and let him buck.
He prays you won’t ‘sack him out’.
He prays you won’t tie him up to fight.
He prays you won’t use ‘special’ headstalls designed with knots or pulleys for extra pressure on his head, nose or poll.
He prays you won’t chase him until he’s so exhausted that he’ll stand no matter what you do to him.
He prays you won’t rope or strap his legs.
He prays that whatever you ask him to do is simple and easy, because if he understands, he’ll always be happy to oblige.
